Complete question:
Benjamin decides to treat himself to breakfast at his favorite restaurant. He orders chocolate milk that costs \$3.25$3.25dollar sign, 3, point, 25. Then, he wants to buy as many pancakes as he can, but he wants his bill to be at most \$30$30dollar sign, 30 before tax. The restaurant only sells pancakes in stacks of 444 pancakes for \$5.50$5.50dollar sign, 5, point, 50. Let SSS represent the number of stacks of pancakes that Benjamin buys. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given that :
Cost of chocolate milk = $3.25
Cost of pancakes = $5.50 (stack of 4)
Number of stacks of pancakes purchased = S
Maximum amount spent ≤ $30
Cost of chocolate + (Cost of pancake stack * number of stacks) ≤ $30
3.25 + 5.50S ≤ 30
5.50S ≤ 30 - 3.25
5.50S ≤ 26.75
S ≤ 26.75 / 5.50
S ≤ 4.86
Hence maximum number of pancake stacks he can purchase without exceeding budget = 4
Hence total number of pancakes = number of stacks * number in a stack
= 4 * 4
= 16
